After all the worrying and anxious waiting yesterday, God came through and granted me safe travels! It was a long flight from San Diego to Baltimore with lots of turbulence...but I'm not complaining! I made it safe and sound. There was a lady right across from me who passed out in the middle of the flight She was unconscious for a while, but thankfully there was a fireman on board who was able to give her some medical care.
It's an unbelievably magical feeling when I see Caleb. What's really funny is that I get extremely nervous the last couple hours before I see him. I go through so many different scenarios of what I want to do when I see him for the first time. Do I: drop everything I have, run up to him and hug him? Jump on him when I hug him? be super shy because I feel nervous when i see him? Hug him tightly and give him a kiss? I have so many different "options" so to say, but when I actually see him, everything that I have planned out flies out the window. Tonight, I managed to knock over my carry-on luggage while I was hugging him...great. Oh well, I'm sure there'll be many more moments like this in the future...=)
We were BOTH extremely tired. I only got about 2-3 hours of sleep last night, and a few hours on the plane as well. Caleb has been staying up late and going in early this week to work on a brief that he will be presenting tomorrow. He wasn't able to work on it tonight because I flew in, so he had to work double time the last few days...I know he'll do great, but I feel a little pang of guilt knowing that he would've been able to do a lot more tonight if I didn't come.
Tomorrow's Friday. He still has class but he told me he'll drop by during lunch to grab something to eat and check on me. Then he'll be off again til about 4,5, or maybe even 6oclock. We're planning on eating at a Sushi place where him and his colleagues go to every Friday, so I'm pretty excited to meet his friends and to get to know them.
It all still seems surreal. I just can't believe I'm in Virginia and that I'll be seeing him again tomorrow. I pray that we aren't tempted and if we are, that we will remind each other to be strong and to remain pure...It's definitely challenging after not seeing someone you love and are extremely attracted to continue to remain pure...but, I know that both of us love God and love each other and want to honor doing the right thing...
Well, it's 12:20 am here...I'm not tired yet, but I'll probably read another few hundred pages of Eclipse....the third installment of Twilight saga. If I still can't sleep by then, I'll watch a few episodes of Glee online. I just finished watching the Olympics and I'm so happy because Yuna Kim won the gold medal for the Women's figure skating competition. SO proud of her.
I'm so excited for the weekend and what it has in store....I'm going to try not to think about any negatives, and continue to focus on the positive.
Peace from the East (coast).
